Then said
Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are
ye my disciples indeed (John 8:31).
There’re
people who say, “I’ll do whatever God tells me to do, if I hear His voice.”
What such people don’t realize is that God already said all He needed to say to
His children, through the written Word—the Bible. If you want to hear His voice
today, study the Word. That’s the voice of the Father, the voice of Jesus, and
the voice of the Holy Spirit.
If you
don’t act upon, or live by the written Word, even if God spoke to you from
heaven, it won’t make much difference; you still won’t act. Everything He says
is always consistent with the written Word, the Bible. The Bible is a
compendium of His out-breathings given to us to live by: “All scripture is
given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for
correction, for instruction in righteousness” (2 Timothy 3:16).
Live by the
Word, and you’ll never lose your way, because the Word of God is light. The
Word gives you a way of life, and the right mentality. Live a purposeful and
focused life through the Word. Don’t live by your imaginations, observations,
assumptions or worldly wisdom; follow the Word, and you’ll be a true success.
PRAYER: Dear
Father, your Word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path! I don’t
function with the wisdom of this world, for Christ is made unto me, wisdom. My
heart is open to receive the instructions in your Word, propelling me in the
direction of your will and purpose for my life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
FURTHER
STUDY: John 1:1-3 - In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word
was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He existed in the
beginning with God. 3 God created everything through him, and
nothing was created except through him.
James 1:22-25 - But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves.23 For if you listen to the word and don’t obey, it is like glancing at your face in a mirror. 24 You see yourself, walk away, and forget what you look like. 25 But if you look carefully into the perfect law that sets you free, and if you do what it says and don’t forget what you heard, then God will bless you for doing it.
